AI Analysis
Technical Summary
In AzuraCast versions prior to 0.23.8, the public On-Demand download endpoint fails to verify playlist-level access controls. This allows unauthenticated attackers to directly request and download media files using valid media identifiers, circumventing the station operator's intended restrictions. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2026-100853 and is associated with CWE-862 (Missing Authorization). The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.9, indicating a high severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality impact.
Potential Impact
Unauthenticated users can bypass playlist-level access controls and download media files that should be restricted, leading to unauthorized disclosure of private or restricted audio content. There is no impact on integrity or availability reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in AzuraCast version 0.23.8 and later. Users should upgrade to version 0.23.8 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the update. No vendor advisory content was provided to indicate alternative mitigations or temporary fixes.
